I'm gonna do another episode now:

Moat:
1st: Green Monkeys
2nd: Purple Parrots
3rd: Red Jaguars
4th: Silver Snakes

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Purple Parrots
2nd: Red Jaguars
Green: 0 Correct
Silver: 2 Correct

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 5-5 Tie
Temple Game 2: 5-2 Purple
Temple Game 3: 5-3 Purple

Purple Parrots: 2 Pendants
Red Jaguars: 1/2 Pendant

Temple Run:
Out of Time (Reached Artifact)
Layout: Season 3
Artifact Location: Tomb of the Headless Kings
Guard Locations: The Ledges, The Shrine of the Silver Monkey, and The Quicksand Bog

Diagram:


Notes: Both players here moved decently and knew what they were doing. However, if the players had taken more shortcuts, like going straight to the Crypt and using the Shrine/Forest passage, this could have been a solo victory. The second runner grabbed the artifact with a mere 5 seconds left on the clock, but could only get out of the Tomb when time ran out. But with an artifact in the bottom of the central shaft, just grabbing an artifact there is accomplishment enough.

Green Monkey domination!

Temple Run
Season: 3
Artifact location: Room of the Secret Password
Guard locations: Crypt, Chamber of the Sacred Markers, Shrine of the Silver Monkey
Outcome: Out of time

Diagram


Notes: Holy shit at that layout! Both players were really fast and smart. Frontrunner was unlucky with the Ledges being a dead-end, but she made it back to the Pit platform. Only the Storeroom opened from the Pit and only the Ancient Warriors opened from the Storeroom. The male player was a beast though. He was super quick and never hesitated. He ignored the Dark Forest trees though and the golden door would've opened too. However, the door connecting the Pharaoh's Secret Passage and the Room of the Secret Password were locked! That was brutal. Run ended as a temple guard in the Shrine came out at the last second. An impossible layout with great players.

Time for another episode from me:

Moat:
1st: Green Monkeys
2nd: Blue Barracudas
3rd: Silver Snakes
4th: Purple Parrots

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Silver Snakes
2nd: Purple Parrots
Blue and Green both got 2 correct. Not a 4 way tie though.

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 6-2 Silver
Temple Game 2: 5-3 Silver
Temple Game 3: 4-1 Purple

Tiebreaker: Silver wins
Silver Snakes: 1 Pendant (Won-Won-Lost, Won Tiebreaker)
Purple Parrots: 1 Pendant (Lost-Lost-Won, Lost Tiebreaker)

Temple Run:
Out of Time (Reached Artifact)
Layout: Season 2, Layout 5
Artifact Location: The Observatory
Guard Locations: Medusa's Lair and the Shrine of the Silver Monkey

Diagram:


Notes: Yet another potential solo victory was possible, but the frontrunner detouring into The Room of the Mandarin Hand prevented that. Besides that, both players moved decently, and the artifact was reached with only five seconds to go. Time ran out just as the second runner had entered the Pit.

2 pendants for the Red Jaguars in a shutout.

Temple Run
Season: 2
Layout: 5
Artifact location: Jesters' Court
Guard locations: Room of the Mandarin Hand, King's Storeroom, Room of the Secret Password
Outcome: Out of time

Diagram


Notes: For a Jesters' Court run, this layout was quite tricky. Unfortunately, the frontrunner did NOT try all three books in the Crypt. This made the path very lengthy. The Red Jaguars made it quite far though. If only the Purple Parrots had won the temple games, that Crypt gaffe wouldn't have happened.

New episode time:

Moat:
1st: Red Jaguars
2nd: Orange Iguanas
3rd: Purple Parrots
4th: Silver Snakes
Yes, that was the order.

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Red Jaguars
2nd: Orange Iguanas
Silver: 2 Correct
Purple: 0 Correct

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 2-2 Tie
Temple Game 2: 3-3 Tie
Temple Game 3: 5-2 Red

Red Jaguars: 2 Pendants
Orange Iguanas: 1 Pendant

Temple Run:
Win! (0:35 remaining)
Layout: Season 2, Layout 3
Artifact Location: The Lightning Room
Guard Locations: Medusa's Lair and The King's Storeroom

Diagram:


Notes: This episode was exciting from start to finish. And every round was very close. The Red Jaguars and the Orange Iguanas were neck and neck all episode, being 1 and 2 in the moat and tying the first two temple games. In the end, the Red Jaguars went to the temple with 2 pendants. And the temple run was a solid performance by both players. Their layout was rather tough, but they made it look like nothing. The artifact was reached with a minute left on the clock, and escaped with 35 seconds to spare. Temple runs don't get much better than this. Another interesting note is that this is my 50th temple layout, and it's the first layout since Episode 26 to feature an artifact in the top corner of the temple.

Might as well join the club  

Moat:
1st: Green
2nd: Silver
3rd: Red
4th: Blue

Steps:
1st: Red
2nd: Green
Silver had 2 and Blue and 1

Temple Games:
6-3 Green
3-3 Tie
5-1 Green

Red Jaguars: 1/2 Pendant
Green Monkeys: 2 Pendants

Temple:
Green Monkeys: Reached Artifact
Rooms Entered: 11 to artifact
Temple Guard Locations: The Crypt, The Room of Ancient Warriors, The Dark Forest
Artifact Location: The Room of Secret Password



Bad News: The frontrunner DROPPED her pendant and never went back, I mean, she didn't realized it till the Crypt where she was taken out with no pendant. Good News: Her partner was the best contestant ever on the show. With speeds faster of Zac, Gator, and Jarrid combined, he grabbed the fumbled pendant and tore through the Temple at an impossible layout. He grabbed the artifact with 0:25 left and then had one bad moment, when he was leaving the Chamber, he fell in the pit but regained his speed, and crossed the gate, to find out it was an Icarus style ending, too bad .

Just a tip, GM1. You can upload your layout to imgur.com so everyone can see.

Anyways, I haven't done these in a while:

Moat:
1st: Green Monkeys
2nd: Orange Iguanas
3rd: Purple Parrots
4th: Silver Snakes

Actual order.

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Orange Iguanas
2nd: Green Monkeys
Purple and Silver both got 2 correct. Not a second to last step tie though.

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 3-1 Green
Temple Game 2: 4-1 Orange
Temple Game 3: 6-6 Tie

Tiebreaker: Orange Wins
Green Monkeys: 1.5 Pendants (Won-Lost-Tie, Lost Tiebreaker)
Orange Iguanas: 1.5 Pendants (Lost-Won-Tie, Won Tiebreaker)

Temple Run:
Caught by Three Temple Guards (0:46 remaining)
Layout: Season 3
Artifact Location: Chamber of the Sacred Markers
Guard Locations: The Crypt, Shrine of the Silver Monkey, and the Room of the Secret Password
Half Pendant Location: Tomb of the Headless Kings (Not Acquired)

Diagram:


Notes: Disaster. This temple run was in great shape until the frontrunner was removed in the Shrine. The second runner, was one of the slowest, most clueless contestants ever. She walked through every room, passed up the half pendant, and took wrong turn after assembling the monkey, ending the run with 46 seconds remaining. If she had gone in first and her partner second, they would have had a MUCH better chance at winning.

Moat:

Green had 2 Correct and Purple had 1.

Temple Games:

Silver Snakes: 2 Pendants

Temple:
Silver Snakes: Out of Time
Rooms Entered: 8
Temple Guard Locations: The Shrine of the Silver Monkey, The Dark Forest, The Quicksand Bog
Artifact Location: The Room of the Secret Password



Pretty much, there was a lot of bad luck. Once the Silver Monkey was completed, only the Dark Forest opened, where the front runner was captured. There was no hope for victory.

GM1, here's a tip for uploading the temple run diagram:

You don't have to use a camera. Just copy the map you want to use. Go to Paint, if you have it. Hopefully if you do, you have a more recent version of it. There should be a paste option. Hit the paste button. From there, you can add all the things we add to our maps like temple guard encounters and half pendants. Once you're done, save the image as a jpeg file (I think that's the best one in this case). Choose whatever title you want. Once you've done that, you can upload your image to Imgur for free without needing an account. When the picture is uploaded, copy the message board link and post it here.

Hopefully that helps.

Artifact Location: Medusa's Lair



Great team, The Purple Parrots made a Center of the Room artifact grab, but then since it was Layout 2-3, they had to go down, forcing it to be a loss. Maybe if the second runner picked up some speed a little bit.

Yeah, let's do one again:

My second Green vs. Purple pair ever. I'm not kidding.

Layout: Season 2, Layout 4
Artifact Location: The Observatory

Half Pendant Location: The Pit (Not Acquired)

Notes: Solid temple run. Both players were fast and knew what to do in every room. The artifact was grabbed in the Observatory with 35 seconds left on the clock, and escaped 14 seconds later. Well deserved victory all around.

This win might be better than Apanuugpak. Both players knew exactly what they were doing. And an artifact from "The Center of the Room" was grabbed and brought out

Notes:
Just like in "Iron Mask," a trek up to Medusa's Lair destroyed the team's chance at winning. Without that error, this could have been a solo victory. What a shame, and this seemed like a good team too.

Well look what we have, a Dark Forest artifact grabbing with a near impossible layout. This team was a lot like Elise and Travis. Could've been a closer one if it wasn't for that Mineshaft elevator.
